Los Angelas, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2012 -- Shares of Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) edged slightly higher on Thursday. The company is the most recent entrant into the same-day delivery battle. During the holiday season, the retailer tested a same-day shipping service in five markets, which gave customers a 4-hour window for delivery and charged a flat $10 fee. So far, the test has been met with limited customer interest. While Amy Lester, a Walmart spokeswoman for global commerce, declined to give exact figures, she told The New York Times that shoppers picked next-day delivery more often than same-day.

Nokia (NYSE:NOK) shares continue to edge lower in late afternoon hours, despite positive reports concerning China sales.

The phone also topped Amazon China’s top-five list last week, but dropped off after it once again sold out. Nokia, which secured a contract with the country’s largest wireless company, China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), in early December, has helped boost the phone’s popularity with its low-cost offer. While the phone costs $738, or 4,599 yuan, without a contract, the device can be bought for as low as 1 yuan with a 2-year service contract that amounts to $62 per month.
